Earlier today Met Eireann issued a Status Red Rain Warning for County Cork, effective from midnight tonight.
Cork City Council’s Severe Weather Assessment Team met this afternoon and reviewed the latest forecasting information for this weather event.
Following this meeting, The City Council is advising that though there will be substantial rain, Cork City is not expected to experience levels of rainfall equating to a red warning situation. The Council anticipates that the impact experienced in Cork City will be consistent with that of an orange level (similar to that of the 4th October 2024).
Heavy rainfall is expected from midnight tonight to 10.00 am Saturday Morning.
No tidal flooding is expected but some localised spot flooding and appearance of debris because of rainfall are likely. Motorists are asked to slow down, drive with extra care and to ensure that they drive in a manner that protects vulnerable road users, including cyclists and pedestrians.
